Interesting! Taking an opportunity to live elsewhere with 8 + kids is bold and adventurous. Wish them all the best. If that's not inspiring to singles and couples, then they're not ready for much. She has a great personality; welcome to Thailand.

If mom is this cute, nice, and polite, that whole family must be the nicest people. Welcome to Thailand. Thailand will love your friendliness.

Excellent interview with a very positive-minded interviewee. However, it would have been nice to know why she and her family left the USA to come to Chiang Mai. Tony, you have to give durian another try. Try eating it in an outdoor setting. I tried it for the first time 2 weeks ago in Phatthalung. The durian was delicious, very fresh, and did not smell bad at all.

Great Video as Always Tony! Cipro is a great antibiotic and one of its uses is for bacterial infections of the stomach. With that said and since most items are over the counter here, I would caution your viewers to consult with a physician before running to the local pharmacy and picking up a strip. Cipro has a long list of food, but more importantly, other drug interactions that must be avoided, such as Warfarin and even antacids.

Durian’s consistency to me is like a potatoe texture with an onion taste. They do have none stinky durian as well. The Smokey season Jan, Feb, Mar will be a challenge. Most leave the area.

Nice video ! Any visa information is helpful to know as i am in the process of selling off my home and belongings to become an expat in Chiang Mai. I visited during covid and had to obtain a Thailand pass and do quarantine along with multiple covid tests. It'll be far easier this time. The retirement visa will be my choice after settling in i believe. Thanks again ,take care.

I've lived in Chiangmai for 5 years and I've never been sick or had food poisoning. I had an allergic reaction once, I accidentally ate crab meat in a resort near Hua Hin. I've always had colourful reactions to crab, I didn't know it was in the food. My stomach didn't like it and punished me for my mistake. I'm trying not to mock, but how does someone come to live in Chiangmai and is surprised that most of the food is Thai? For me the biggest issue with Chiangmai, and something everyone ought to be aware of before deciding to move here, is the poor quality air during the burning season: late February until the rainy season starts. It was exceptionally bad this year, most polluted city in the world a few times in March/April, and it lasted well into May, but last year it was mild and ended in early April. If you're older and have breathing related medical issues/concerns it might not be the place for you. It can be overcome in the home with air filters, but it can't be ignored. My favorite food when eating out is Khao Soi, the best I've had from a flavour perspective is from Ming Kwan, a veggie restaurant in the old city. I regularly go to a local family run eatery that does freshly cooked made to order meals starting at 30 Baht. I get the impression they rarely have foreigners go there. Meals in general, if you eat Thai food are cheap compared to the west, I rarely eat western food now so can't say about prices, but they used to be expensive.

Hi Tony, are you sure it was ciprofloxacin you were taking? That medication is an antibiotic used to treat urinary tract infections, bone or skin infections, or pneumonia. One of the many serious side effects of the medication is that it can disrupt the natural Flora that's in the gut and can actually cause really bad diarrhea including a dangerous kind of diarrhea, c-diff. If that is the medication that you were taking then maybe that is what was causing your diarrhea/vomiting and not so much the food that you were eating . Now a substance that can help support the natural Flora of your gut is called a probiotic. That is generally a good idea for a person to take. I have never heard of ciprofloxacin being used to treat food poisoning. Of all the medications on Earth, the class of drugs that are most likely to cause an allergic reaction are antibiotics, so that's another danger of taking ciprofloxacin.

I personally have traveled all around the world and always carry Cipro with me. It is prescribed to me in America by my family physician, specifically for potential severe diarrhea and dysentery. It's definitely supposed to be used with caution and not overused so that you don't build a resistance to it. I really like your comment about the probiotic because anytime I take antibiotics, I always follow up the antibiotics with a couple weeks of a probiotic to restore all the good stuff that the antibiotic destroyed 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Ive been to Thailand 30 times since 2005 and my doctor always gave me cipro as a go to should i get abdominal sickness. He said it was a good broad spectrum antibiotic. Although, i did pick up an amoeba in a mountain Karen Hilltribe village and was hospitalized for two days so getting sick 1 out of 30 trips is a pretty good stat.

@@alexandraforse ok, I learned something. Thank you. Personally I would feel a lot more comfortable being prescribed by a physician than guessing which is the right treatment for me. If the infection is viral, then the antibiotic will have no effect.

I don't think Valie ever mentioned why she and her family moved to Thailand. Are they Mormon missionaries? Was it for work? It would have been nice to know the reason.

Question for Valie. How are you going to handle the burning season in Chiang Mai. The air quality will be extremely dangerous for your children. I know Thai children deal with it and it would be interesting to know how it affects their health. Also their families mostly have no choice about where they live but you do. I would be very concerned about their young lungs inhaling all that poison. I would love to live in Chiang Mai but, as a senior with allergies, I'll probably have to live further south where it's a bit better.
